This really couldnt be a more hateful topic, im glad your proud of being at the center of it all reflex.
I think your view on americans, not politicians, but the actual people is completely distorted because i think you just believe that its 'cool' to dislike americans.
well i say fuck you

7 tracks for me is the limit, with rare exceptions - ie Come To Daddy, which can't really be classed as an album. It depends on content, length and the feel.
Wasn't this in another thread? Oh well, I'm adapting.

Aye, good point. The more recognized format is a compilation of the two, isn't it. I'd go with 7 tracks max for an EP, then.

the original idea of an EP was a 7" single played at 33rpm (i.e. extended play) usually around 12 minutes and 3 or 4 tracks

Being fairly young I don't remember the origins of the EP. I do however see the mutated varients it progressed to in the nineties :D

what about stuff like gy!be...their first album technically only has 3 songs, but it's definitely not an ep. i think it has more to do with length than number of tracks.

i think the ep/lp is all up for grabs, i mean look at the misfit lps, about 20min long. Its a personal matter of taste I would say. For me its 20min or more for an ep, and 40 min or more for an lp.

True enough, the new Fantomas has ONE track and it's 74 minutes long. But how long is EP7?
I think most people, with some small input from the artist, can usually tell what's an album and what's not. It's mostly to do with what the artistic statement was intended from the outset and where the final product ended up. I can't think of any instances where the two are really confused. Not with the stuff I listen to anyhoo.

"One of the four major record formats, the EP was a compromise between the 45 rpm single and the LP, or “long play” album. The EP or extended play issue was a 7” disc that had a large center hole like the 45, but also had a cardboard cover, cover art work, and multiple tracks (generally four) that were often from a related LP. EPs were an attempt to create a product priced between the low (under a dollar) price of a 45 and the relatively high (over two dollars) price of an LP. They were marketed heavily, but not too successfully, between about 1950 until the mid-1960's. Today, EPs are not as widely collected as LPs, 45s, or 78s, but nevertheless there are many collectors who buy EPs exclusively."

I think in most cases, you know what the release is before you hear it. Thus, this affects how you listen to it, like it or not. If you don't, and then discover afterwards, for me at least it usually makes the release make more sense. You can place it better on it's own and (in hindsight) where it's fits in an artists's discography.

I think it should be solely sought in the length of a record, seeing as EP means extended play..
so you could have 2 tracks, but it depends on their combined length whether it's an E.P. or not.

I only ever wanted to talk about doom. I think more people like to know that if you dont like something you shouldnt bring it up too much because its only gonna cause trouble.
I mean a healthy argument is ok, but when people try to tell others what to do then it just becomes lame.
Im not going to change my avatar, until I want to.

also, I've always felt Come to Daddy made a nice companion album to RDJ Album... I've never really viewed it as an EP...
also, Doom is a fun game! :)
